Hello guys, I need to replace the thermostat housing as it's been cracked and it is dripping small amount of coolant, my questions are ( A.) shal I use a heat sealant when putting the new thermostat housing in ? ( B.) do I have to re-bleed the system once I replaced it ? (c.) would a cracked thermostat housing mean air could get in to the coolant system, and also I know it's only small amount but I got a connection on the gearbox directly under the thermostat housing and I think it's dripping I the wire so could I hear the consequences if the coolant drops on the connection ( just something i want to bare in mind) thanks guys as usual all comments and help appriciated
